PRINCE 2 is a flexible project management method, suitable for use on any type of project. It has been derived from professional Project Managers' experiences and refined over years of use in a wide variety of contexts.
'PRINCE 2: a practical handbook' demonstrates how using PRINCE 2 can provide a business-like start to a project, ensuring its viability and the effective use of resources before any large-scale expenditure is undertaken.
It covers the main management concerns about a project such as initiation, controlling products, quality, risks, change and project closure, and concludes with descriptions of the normal management products of a project.
